5 Summer Lip Care Sidekicks

Much like our skincare routine changes with the seasons the same is true of our makeup. Summer makeup is all about the lips (scale back on the eye makeup, the eyes are concealed behind those oversized shades anyway), incorporating pops of colour, vibrant shine and sun protection for a simple, yet pulled-together look for wherever the day may take you. To help you assemble your summer beauty bag, we’ve compiled the best in summer lip care sidekicks for a day at the beach to lounging poolside.

If you want to protect your pout this summer without forgoing a little colour, Suntegrity’s got you covered with their new Lip C.P.R. SPF 30 lipstick ($39). Available in a wide variety of shades, these lipsticks are infused with lip repairing lipids and Konjac Root wrinkle-filling spheres that help to reduce the appearance of fine lines while zinc oxide provides broad spectrum SPF 30 protection without chemicals. Made with organic jojoba oil, shea butter and cocoa butter, this lip colour glides on beautifully and keeps lips feeling lushly moisturized. The slim tube makes this a perfect summer sidekick, tucking easily into a pocket, clutch or purse.
